My sentiments exactly

When you install windoze (well at least in the past this held true) a word and excel viewer were included... this should be done for the mac too, as well as powerpoint.
The last time I created a powerpoint presentation: 4 years ago
Last time I used excel (for non-work matter @ home): 1 year ago (and this was to help a friend...well to do her homework lol

)
Last Time I used excel at work: Last week (but since I dont pay for it no prob

)
Last time I used Access (on a PC): Last year when I did that HW for a friend
Last time I used M$ word (at home): 1 month ago.
So I have no serious need to upgrade from what I am currently using and probably wont feel the need to upgrade anyhow.
$500 is quite A LOT of money to just throw away.. I would prefer to buy something constructive, or something that apeases my hobbying interests than give it to M$.
